You won't find a photojournalist job posted on Career Builder, Monster.com, or any of those generalized job listings. JournalismJobs.com does have jobs posted on a regular basis. You could try the National Press Photographers Association (NPPA), JournalismNext.com, Journalism.org...check out the link below. But you'll probably need at least one (most likely unpaid) internship under your belt before you're hireable. You're going to need a clip book of published images to bring with you along with a journalistic resume to interviews. Keep in mind that a lot of qualified people are going after a few choice jobs, so the competition (especially for us newbies) is fierce. Networking helps A LOT. Persistence is essential. Good luck
